Each of the Banks and their respective affiliates expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update, review or revise any forward looking statement contained in this announcement whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

In connection with the planned Private Placement, the Banks and any of their affiliates, acting as investors for their own accounts, may subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell or otherwise deal for their own accounts in such securities and other securities of the Company or related investments in connection with the planned Private Placement or otherwise. Accordingly, references in the prospectus, once published, to the securities being issued, offered, subscribed, acquired, placed or otherwise dealt in should be read as including any issue or offer to, or subscription, acquisition, placing or dealing by the Banks and any of their affiliates acting as investors for their own accounts. In addition, certain of the Banks or their respective affiliates may enter into financing arrangements (including swaps or contracts for differences) with investors in connection with which such Banks (or their affiliates) may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of the Company’s shares. The Banks do not intend to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so.

No reliance may be placed by any person for any purpose on the information contained in this release or its accuracy, fairness or completeness. The expected date of the admission to trading of shares of the Company on the regulated market segment ( *regulierter Markt* ) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ( *Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse* ) with simultaneous admission to the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ( *Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse* ) (together, the “Listing”) may be influenced by things such as market conditions. There is no guarantee that Listing will occur and no financial decision should be based on the intentions of the Company in relation to Listing at this stage. Acquiring investments to which this release relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all of the amount invested.

This release does not constitute a recommendation concerning the Private Placement. The value of shares can decrease as well as increase. Potential investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of the Private Placement for the person concerned.

In connection with the Private Placement of the shares in the Company, Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG, acting for the account of the Banks, will act as stabilization manager (the “Stabilization Manager”) and may, as Stabilization Manager, make overallotments and take stabilization measures in accordance with Article 5(4) and (5) of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 on market abuse, as amended, in conjunction with Articles 5 through 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052) of March 8, 2016. Stabilization measures aim at supporting the market price of the shares of the Company during the stabilization period, such period starting on the date the Company’s shares commence trading on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ( *Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse* ), expected to be June 25, 2025, and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter (the “Stabilization Period”). Stabilization transactions may result in a market price that is higher than would otherwise prevail. However, the Stabilization Manager is under no obligation to take any stabilization measures. Therefore, stabilization may not necessarily occur and it may cease at any time. Stabilization measures may be undertaken at the following trading venues: Xetra.

In connection with such stabilization measures, investors may be allocated additional shares of the Company of up to 15% of the existing shares actually placed in the Private Placement (the “Over-Allotment Shares”). The Selling Shareholders granted the Stabilization Manager, acting for the account of the Banks, an option to acquire a number of shares in the Company equal to the number of Over-Allotment Shares at the placement price, less agreed commissions (so-called Greenshoe option). To the extent Over-Allotment Shares were allocated to investors in the Private Placement, the Stabilization Manager, acting for the account of the Banks, is entitled to exercise this option during the Stabilization Period even if such exercise follows any sale of shares by the Stabilization Manager which the Stabilization Manager had previously acquired as part of any stabilization measures (so-called refreshing the shoe).
